The company experienced a net loss of $1.73 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $0.95 per diluted share in the prior year. Results were impacted by restructuring costs, non-cash charges, and a stronger U.S. dollar.

The company faced a challenging environment in North America and Europe, but experienced solid demand in LATAM and APME.
Gross profit margin was 17.5%, with staffing margins remaining resilient.
The quarter included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $55 million and restructuring charges of $90 million related to the wind down of the Germany Proservia business.
